Accept all defaults in the wizard that pops up.ħ. We can turn our project into a Web Project by creating a dummy JSF page: go to File, New and from Web Tier, JSF pick JSF JSP.

I will show you how to get a simple ICEfaces application running in no time at all (well, under 30 minutes). ICEfaces comes with a plugin for JDeveloper 10.1.3.x – since I am a happy JDeveloper user, that was to be my starting point. I decided to give ICEfaces a spin, watched the demos on and became convinced that the components were worth a second look. Note however: ICEfaces does not mix freely within a JSF page with other JSF implementations. Next to for example ADF Faces/MyFaces Trinidad and MyFaces Tomahawk, ICEfaces is another set to pick components from. This basically means that a lot of rich, often AJAX powered components became much more readily available for JSF application developers. November 2006 saw the announcement by ICEsoft that their ICEfaces library of JSF components was being released under an open source license.
